Iolite Tumbled Stone

These tumbled iolite stones are so cute and perfect to carry around in your pocket or use for gridding! They range in size from about 1-3cm in length. Each crystal is different, so the one you receive may or may not be pictured. One will be chosen at random and may or may not be pictured.

Iolite carries the spirit of journey, of dreams and intuition, of exploration and illumination. It is known as the Vikings’ Compass, and provides the vision to move us, physically and spiritually, from one realm to the next. Leif Eriksson and other Viking explorers who ventured far out into the Atlantic Ocean used thin pieces of Iolite as the world’s first polarizing filter. Looking through an Iolite lens, they could determine the exact location of the sun and navigate safely.

Iolite is a stone of the muses, activating the visionary, creative side of the mind, and accessing thoughts and ideas beyond the ordinary. It inspires creative self-expression through writing, song, movement and other artistic endeavors. When in the midst of adversity, Iolite helps to provide solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. It promotes a calm, positive state of mind, instills hope, and assists in decisions on how to proceed. It gives the emotional distance needed for a clearer perspective.
